There are way too many similarities for comfort.

However there is one area where Labour can’t follow in the footsteps of Hitler. They will never be able to emulate his skills as an orator. For his infinite amount of flaws, he was a brilliant orator who captivated his audience.

They can steal the propaganda ideas and the style of getting their message across but on stage Joseph looks like a robotic version of Mussolini, and Louis is quite simply the least inspirational orator I have ever seen.

Isn’t Malta taghna lkoll a corruption of In-nazzjon taghna? Since Pl slogan has been out it’s been ringing a bell, couldn’t put my finger on it.

In reply to Harry Purdie. We're already doing that. The reinvention of Joseph Muscat as a pro-EU, reasonable grown up in a suit is straight out of 1984.

I cannot understad the feeling of defeat that has gripped most of the contributors to this magnificent blog. Why? OK Muscat has managed to load his truck with all the Mintoffian rubbish and hopefully their vote, but I still think that the majority of the voting population is not so stupid.

If then Muscat is voted in, then we deserve all that we can expect from a Mintoffian government.

From ‘intollerant’ and arrogant GonziPN, to the emphasis on a ‘true PN’ culminating in an all encompassing movement appropriating Malta’s aspiration, PN included.

Displacing reality through defined finite personification.

‘The party is Hitler, Hitler is Germany, Germany is Hitler.’

Then there’s this,

Italian fascists obviously went visual, even given the raw material to create an object of adulation.

The facade above belonged to the party’s headquarters in Rome, the result of the futurist movement.

Muscat removed the shield/net set onto the entrance pillars, a metaphor symbolising defence and upholding of the working class, to install the stage for an impending victory instead.

Sprinkling his speeches with words like avantgarde, futuristic and energy, he’s taken to surrounding himself with the ‘intelligentsia’.

This is the man who said he’ll concede inauguration of Piano’s project to the defeated. Such is his vanity imbued with generosity, we are to appreciate how It pains him to do so.

Hopefully, I’m mistaken.

In reply to Harry Purdie. Just had another thought. If we have to be inundated on the web like this, by a fat, porky, smirking face, without any recourse to obliterate it, are we about to experience the film, '1984' in 2013?

Yesterday it also happened to me on iwastesomuchtime.com and also on Facebook (I needed some distraction since I was sick).

Just this morning, I was watching uploaded videos of Lift, and one of the sponsored advertisements was josephmuscat.com, with a myriad of likes.

Luckily, I removed it and when I was asked why I did so, in the form of a survey, one of the options was that it was, ‘offensive’, and boy, wasn’t I happy to choose that.
